Lady Eusapia Balacañon[1a]
Eusapia Balacañon is an Estalian noblewoman, shaman and licensed Imperial master wizard of the Amber Order.[1a]
The combination of the grace and sophistication of the Estalian aristocracy, with the presence and stature of the nobility of the Empire, makes Balacañon a respected member of Imperial aristocratic society's upper crust. That she is also a wizard makes her rightly feared, as well. A true battle axe, Balacañon combines her upbringing with the primal energies of Ghur to make herself a sight to behold.[1a]
History[]
A Beastly Farce[]
As a licensed Imperial master wizard, Balacañon is expected to remain unencumbered by the concerns of politics and appearance. As a master shaman of the Amber Order, this goes one step further with the expectation that Balacañon would forego the comforts of Imperial society almost entirely.[1a]
Lady Eusapia, however, formally disagrees with these mandates, and has other designs. To this end, Balacañon is looking for agents to stage a rather elaborate farce: breaking into a noble party, and unleashing magically controlled beasts that she will just happen to be in the right place, in the right circumstances, to avert disaster! But her planning has gone awry, and she now needs desperate help to resolve the matter.[1a]
A Beastly Affair[]
Eusapia is a wizard of no mean skill, but she was almost laid low when she was attacked by an unusually talented Human wizard and some Beastmen during one of her meditative treks into the Reikwald. While she escaped with her life, Eusapia has made it her business to investigate this group, who she now knows to be the Cult of the Red Crown. She has a good deal of information about the cult, and can fill anyone she hires to aid her in on their activities, including the fact that at least one of the cult's agents operates near Grissenwald.[1a]
